[QUOTE="doktorstick, post: 303976, member: 4485"] Howdy. I have some item creation rules questions. When creating a item that duplicates a spell effect and can only be used once per day (use-activated), is the formula: base cost = spell level * caster level * 2,000 gp market value = base cost * 1 / 5 Secondly, under the [b]Special[/b] section of Table 8-40 in the DMG, "Charged (50 charges)" has a base price adjustment of "1/2 unlimited use base price". What is the "unlimited use base price"? I note the ** footnote: However, this applied to material component costs and I don't think applies to the previous "unlimited" statement. Lastly, is a use-activated item that can be used 1/day considered unlimited? My assumption would be despite my confusion :) that a 1st-level caster, 1st-level spell item (for simplicity) that was use-activated and usable 1/day would be 400 gp. Now for advice. If unused "uses" could be accumulated over days (say to a maximum of 5 "uses"), how much of a market modifier would you add to the cost? Thanks. /ds [/QUOTE]
